B
Patrick
Thompson
member
of
committee,
Richard
thanks
member
of
the
committee,
all
right,
Francis
Kroll,
also
a
member
of
the
committee,
all
right.
D
B
E
B
B
All
right,
if
not,
does
that,
give
us
a
quorum
here.
Yes,.
B
Okay,
good
all
right,
so
let's
go
around
the
room
with
the
staff
members.
B
C
B
H
B
H
I'm
the
the
Walmart
of
service
coordinator.
E
And
Ryan
Jones
the
art
asset
and
project
manager.
B
J
Is
Lauren
Breyer,
Arlington,
Transit
capital
projects,
intern.
B
B
B
B
E
E
H
B
Okay,
well,
let's:
let's
go
ahead
and
move
the
public
comment
here.
Is
there
any
anybody
that
would
like
to
offer
some
public
comment
tonight.
B
B
Okay,
if
not,
let's
go
on
to
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
November
15th
meeting,
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
approve
these
minutes
so
moved.
Second.
A
F
B
Okay,
the
next
item
that
we
have
here
is
the
Arlington
Transit
zero
emissions.
Bus
study
update
who's
going
to
present
that,
for
us.
A
Mr
sees
it's
going
to
be
presenting
as
she
presented
to
the
attack
at
the
November
meeting
and
I.
Will
let
Carly
take
the
floor
from.
J
Thanks,
can
you
all
see
my
screen?
Yes,
good,
great
yeah,
okay,
so
most
of
you
I
think
were
in
the
last
attack
meeting
where
we
presented
kind
of
some
of
the
initial
steps
of
our
project.
So
this
is
just
a
follow-up
on
some
of
the
progress
that
we've
made
since
then,.
J
So
this
is
the
the
study,
scope
and
timeline
just
a
a
few
of
the
the
elements
that
we're
looking
at.
So
this
should
be
familiar
to
you
all.
The
only
change
that
we've
had
in
our
timeline
is
to
add,
in
that
note,
about
the
drpt
application
deadline,
which
is
February
1st,
and
so
we
will
have
some
content
that
relates
to
that.
J
J
J
J
So
you
see
a
little
bit
more
of
that
and
then
finally,
we
talked
about
some
of
the
route
modeling
that
we've
been
doing
and
the
facility
assessment
that's
been
done,
and
so
today,
you'll
be
seeing
a
little
bit
more
of
the
outputs
from
that
route.
Modeling.
J
So
this
zero
Mission
bus
transition
plan
is
really
kind
of
cut
up
into
three
different
stages:
phase.
One
and
two
are
really
more
of
the
near
term
and
then
phase
three
is
kind
of
determining
that
long
range
strategy.
J
So
the
first
phase
is
really
the
focus
is
in
2023
replacing
the
Aging
Nabi
buses.
I
think
we
talked
about
this
quite
a
bit
in
our
last
presentation,
but
there's
there's
a
a
fleet
of
Nabi
buses
that
are
no
longer
serving
the
needs
for
Arlington
Transit
to
keep
up
that
quality
service,
and
they
really
need
to
be
replaced
as
soon
as
possible,
and
the
quickest
way
to
replace
these
buses
is
to
purchase
15
CNG
buses.
J
Unfortunately,
the
the
timeline
for
purchasing
zero
Mission
buses
doesn't
really
work.
The
lead
time
for
ordering
those
buses
is
about
two
years
and
the
the
new
aomath
facility
won't
be
ready
to
charge
these
vehicles
until
2025..
J
J
There
is
a
lot
of
optimism
about
being
able
able
to
fuel
these
CNG
buses
with
renewable
natural
gas.
We
are
still
Arlington.
Staff
are
still
in
conversations
about
getting
access
to
that
RNG,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
later
and
at
as
the
Arlington
Water
Pollution
Control
plant
comes
online
in
2029,
there
will
be
a
greater
source
of
RNG.
At
that
point,
so
phase
two
is
focused
on
conducting
a
zero
Mission
bus
pilot
program.
J
The
plan
is
to
Pilot
the
first
four,
which
would
be
battery
electric
buses
in
2025
and
the
the
really
the
goal
around
that
is
to
have
those
buses
go
in
service,
as
the
aomf
facility
is
prepared
to
charge
those
electric
buses
the
following
year
between
two
and
four
fuel
cell
electric
buses
will
be
purchased
and
deployed
in
that
year,
and
this
will
really
allow
Arlington
staff
to
do
a
side-by-side
evaluation
to
compare
these
two
technologies
Head
to
Head
most
agencies
across
the
country,
we're
seeing
or
are
really
testing
out
both
Technologies.
J
You
know.
Every
agency
is
a
little
bit
different.
It's
important
to
see
how
these
buses
operate
in
your
climate,
in
your
service,
at
your
facilities,
so
getting
that
hand
Hands-On
Real
World
experience
is
really
important,
so
this
is
the
second
phase
of
the
zero
Mission
bus
plan.
J
So
the
third
phase
is
really
going
to
build
off
of
the
results
of
that
pilot
program,
So
based
on
how
it
goes
and
how
that
Real,
World
Experience,
really
influences
decision.
Making
Arlington
will
kind
of
go
down
one
of
two
paths
so
that
we're
going
to
have
and
we'll
show
you
a
bit
more
of
this
in
the
following
slides
but
there's
basically
a
battery
electric
bus
scenario
and
a
hydrogen
fuel
cell
bus
scenario
and
based
on
the
pilot
Arlington
will
likely
go
down
one
of
those
paths.
J
J
So
for
battery
electric
buses.
We
are
assuming
a
two
to
one
replacement
ratio
so
for
every
CNG
bus
you
retire,
you
purchase
two
battery
electric
buses.
J
J
You
know
by
maybe
adjusting
your
scheduling
by
kind
of
buying
different
buses
that
fit
different
types
of
service,
and
we
are
seeing
that
with
technological
advancements.
We
do
expect
that
ratio
to
come
down,
but
for
now
we
are
just
kind
of
doing
our
planning
based
on
what
is
on
the
market
today
and
what's
available
to
us
for
hydrogen
fuel
cell
buses,
you
do
get
a
one-for-one
replacement
ratio
because
they
do
have
quite
a
bit
more
range,
as
we
talked
about
in
the
the
November
presentation.
J
So,
in
order
to
do
that
fuel
cell
electric
bus
scenario,
it
will
be
important
to
continue
having
those
conversations
with
Washington
Gas
in
order
to
make
sure
that
you
do
have
a
source
of
green
hydrogen
in
order
to
fuel
those
hydrogen
fuel
cell
buses,
which
I
think
we
might
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
later.
J
So
going
into
the
two
scenarios,
I
did
first
want
to
highlight
on
the
right
the
timeline
that
we
have
so
as
I
mentioned,
starting
in
2023,
there
will
be
another
purchase
of
CNG
buses,
but
all
of
the
CNG
buses
going
forward
will
be
fueled
with
RNG.
So
as
you
procure
more
buses,
those
buses
will
be
fueled
with
renewable
natural
gas.
J
There's
an
asterisk
there.
Just
because
these
are
this
assumption
is
pending
successful
negotiations
with
clean
energy,
which
is
a
renewable
natural
gas
provider.
But
there
is
a
lot
of
you
know,
expectation
that
that
this
will
be
possible,
and
so,
if
you
see
on
the
chart
there,
that
dark
orange
is
the
CNG
fueled
buses
and
the
light
oranges
orangey.
J
So
between
23
and
28,
is
when
it's
most
challenging
to
find
a
source
of
RNG,
but
starting
in
29
that
water
treatment
plant
will
be
online
and
providing
RNG.
So
all
the
buses
will
be
fueled
with
that
that
RNG.
J
So
in
2025
and
26
you
see
the
zero
Mission
buses
that
will
be
deployed
as
part
of
the
pilot
program
which
I
described
before
in
28.
art
will
no
longer
purchase
natural
gas
vehicles.
So
all
of
the
vehicles
after
that
point
will
be
zero.
Mission
buses,
so
it'll
take
a
while
to
retire
those
CNG
buses,
but
starting
in
28.
J
So
looking
at
the
chart
on
the
left,
this
is
the
specifically
the
battery
electric
bus
scenario.
I
will
say
the
timeline
on
the
right
is
the
same
for
the
the
next
couple,
slides
as
well.
J
So
the
biggest
thing
I
want
to
point
out
here
is:
you
can
see
that
black
dotted
line
is
the
facility's
capacity
and
starting
in
2031.
You
do
see
that
the
two
to
one
replacement
ratio
does
exceed
the
facility
capacity,
so
that
this
point
you
would
need
to
have
another
facility
where
you
could
store
and
maintain
those
buses.
J
So
that's
the
biggest
challenge
with
battery
electric
buses.
We
are
expecting
you
know.
Technological
advancements
could
help
push
that
timeline,
but
we
do
expect
at
some
point
that
going
with
the
battery
electric
bus
scenario
would
result
in
needing
more
facility
space,
it's
just
kind
of
a
matter
of
time.
J
J
J
So
it's
important
to
note
that
you
know
this.
This
scenario
does
help
you
save
on
space
and
just
because
of
the
the
lack
of
the
need
to
increase
the
size
of
the
fleet.
J
So
you
can
see
the
green
line
is
the
battery
electric
bus
scenario
and
the
blue
line
is
the
fuel
cell
electric
bus
scenario.
You
see
a
pretty
steep
dip
in
2029
and
that's
really
because
you're
switching
all
of
your
CNG
buses
to
be
fueled
by
RNG,
which
has
a
negative
carbon
intensity,
so
that
really
helps
a
lot
in
reducing
the
the
ghg
emissions
from
the
fleet.
J
J
Obviously
there
are
different
factors
that
could
affect
you
know
this
line
and
how
that
works.
You
know
if,
if
you
decide
to
purchase
solar
energy
from
a
different
Source,
then
that
would
be
lower
and
then
for
that
blue
line.
You
do
see
a
bit
of
an
uptick
there,
but
it
does
level
out
at
zero
and
we
are
assuming
green
hydrogen
for
that.
J
This
next
chart
looks
at
kind
of
those
other
types
of
emissions,
Beyond
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
so
carbon
monoxide
vocs
knocks
particulate
matter
and
things
like
that.
So
for
both
scenarios
as
you
transition
to
a
zero
Mission
Fleet,
you
end
up
with
zero
tailpipe
emissions.
So
most
of
those
emissions
go
down
to
zero.
J
I
will
say
the
the
weird
part
about
a
particulate
matter
is
that
that
you
can't
completely
get
rid
of
your
PM
emissions,
and
part
of
that
is
because
Arlington
has
already
converted
from
diesel
buses
to
CNG,
which
you
see
a
huge
drop
in
particulate
matter,
emissions
just
for
making
that
transition.
But
there
are
a
certain
amount
of
particulate
matter.
Emissions
from
just
running
a
bus
from
you
know
tires
on
the
road
and
brake
pads
and
things
like
that,
but
it
is
pretty
minimal.
D
Carly
I
could
take
it,
that'd
be
fine,
oh
okay,
yeah,
so
thanks,
Carly,
I,
just
I
think
because
RNG
is
currently
has
shown
you
renewable
natural
gas
is
a
isn't
a
component
of
our
Fleet
transition
plan
that
she's
shown
you
both
in
the
battery
electric
bus
or
the
hydrogen
fuel
cell
scenarios.
We
wanted
to
just
give
you
two
slides
and
we're
not
going
to
make
it
drill
down
too
far
on
this,
but
wanted
to
just
frame
this.
D
For
you,
our
water
pollution
control
plant,
that's
on
Glebe,
Glebe
Road
is,
is
our
only
Wastewater
facility
in
the
at
the
in
the
county,
and
we
wanted
to
just
note
to
you
that
there's
a
significant
upgrade
project.
It's
called
our
solids
master
plan,
it's
currently
under
design
and
there's
a
holistic
process
being
designed
in
this
and
that
they
would
take
the
normal
waste
water,
the
solids
from
the
plant
and
through
a
a
process,
thermal
hydrolysis,
but
primarily
the
anaerobic
digestion
process.
D
There
is
a
a
gas
two
products
actually
formed
here.
One
would
be
a
solid
and
you
could
use
that
for
different
purposes.
There's
been
consideration
of
fertilizer
Etc,
but
also
a
soil
amendment
that
could
be
used,
but
the
thing
we're
focusing
on
here
is
up
in
the
middle
of
the
screen.
The
gas
is
a
byproduct
of
the
anaerobic
digestion
process
and
it
can
provide
a
renewable
natural
gas
source
to
provide
for
the
art
Fleet.
D
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
that,
and
just
note
that
one
of
the
other
benefits
here
is
that
it's
all
internal
to
Arlington
County,
so
it
it's
the
process
both
starts
and
would
end
in
the
county,
which
I
think
we
really
like
that
aspect
of
this
next
slide,
and
so
this
this
is
a
a
slide,
provides
a
quick
look
down
into
the
process
which
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
in
in
too
much
detail.
But
just
to
describe
that
this
is
the
conditioning
and
cleaning
process
from
left
to
right.
D
D
That's
in
close
proximity
to
the
plant,
the
renewable
natural
gas
is
currently
planned
to
be
online
in
2029,
as
as
Carly
has
noted
in
the
interim,
the
transit
team
is
working
with
our
current
vendor
at
the
light
maintenance
facility
on
clean
energy
and
we're
in
negotiations
to
try
to
secure
a
renewable
natural
gas
resource
that
could
provide
that
in
the
interim,
starting
as
early
as
2023,
and
we
think
the
prospect
of
that
is
very,
very
high
to
get
that
and
be
able
to
just
represent
that
the
r
artfully
is
is
being
run
through
by
a
renewable
natural
gas
product.
D
I
would
note
this
as
a
closed
system
and,
as
you
look
from
the
very
topics,
what
we
had
titled
exhaust
there
is
no
methane
CH4,
that's
exhausted,
which
is
a
very
a
gas,
that's
very
high
in
greenhouse
gas
emission
and
lastly,
two
points.
I
would
note
for
the
renewable
natural
gas.
It
has
a
huge
greenhouse
gas
emission
offset
because
it's
it's
produced
by
a
natural,
decaying
process
of
organic
material.
The
waste
that's
produced
in
the
sanitary
sewer
process
and
it
would
otherwise
end
up
in
the
atmosphere
from
natural
processes.
D
So
it's
a
biogenic
gas
which
you
can
use
as
a
significant
offset
in
the
calculation
of
your
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
then.
Secondly,
something
to
recognize
here
is
that
that
what's
produced
here
is
two
things:
there's
actually
a
commodity
component
of
natural
gas
and
also
there's
a
renewable
identification
instrument.
That's
actually
used
by
the
EPA
to
track
the
program
and
it's
used
to
track
and
enforce
the
Renewable
Fuel
standards
that
gas
suppliers
and
fuel
suppliers
of
gasoline
Diesel
and
other
fuel
supplies
have
to
use
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
energy
Policy
Act.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
those
those
couple
of
issues.
It's
really
some
we're
very
excited
about
the
process
of
prospect
of
getting
this
internal
from
a
process
that
the
county
is
already
having
to
deal
with
their
waste
waste
water
system
management
of
their
solids
program-
and
this
is
this-
is
really
a
a
benefit
that
we
can.
We
can
realize
in
the
long
term
2029,
but
in
the
interim,
by
negotiating
with
a
gas
book
provider
next
slide.
D
So
I'm
just
going
to
wrap
here
and
just
note
that
there's
a
couple
of
actions-
art
will
be.
The
actions
here
that
are
on
top
of
this,
in
the
short
term,
are
aren't,
will
be
applying
for
15
CNG
buses
and
four
electric
buses
in
the
February.
First
application
to
the
Department
of
rail
and
public
transportation.
D
Pierre
Holloman
and
his
team
and
Transit
are
plant
working
right
now
to
to
get
those
applications
ready
for
submission,
and
these
are
per.
These
purchases
are
critical,
not
just
to
replace
the
fleet,
but
in
the
in
the
aspect
of
maintaining
pull
out
because
of
the
nabbies
that
Pierre
Holloman
mentioned
to
you
last
time,
we
really
have
to
replace
those
buses
that
cannot
be
maintained
because
they're
no
longer
the
parts
are
not
reliable.
D
We're
spending
a
significant
amount
money,
almost
nine
to
ten
times
the
amount,
as
we
typically
would
spend
on
a
bus
just
to
operate
and
keep
it
in
service.
So
that's
the
plan
in
the
short
term,
and
it
really
allows
us
to
continue
a
service
that,
frankly,
is
very
beneficial
to
our
Transit
dependent
Riders
riders
in
the
county,
and
so
the
public
engagement
process
is
as
noted
below
we're
already
in
this
process.
Meeting
with
you
tonight.
D
We
briefed
the
TC
chair
and
the
c2e2
chair
earlier
this
afternoon
and
we
plan
on
having
those
additional
meetings,
as
noted
there.
So
really
with
that.
We,
we
really
have
learned
a
lot
in
this
process,
though
I
would
just
give
a
lot
of
credit
for
the
transit
team
working
collaboratively
with
Dimitri
McBride
and
her
Eric
and
the
air
team,
because,
frankly,
there's
a
lot.
D
We've
benchmarked
in
the
country
nationally
with
the
help
of
Washington,
Gas
and
Carly
Transit
properties
throughout
the
country,
and
what
they're
doing
to
really
do
some
lessons
learned
so
that
we
don't
have
to
make
make
similar
mistakes
that
perhaps
others
have
already
experienced
I
would
just
I
thought
it
was
valuable
if
Pierre
Holloman
can
just
give
us
a
one
minute
snapshot
of
the
regional
practices
or
or
Regional
status.
If
you
would
of
what
some
of
the
other
Transit
properties
are
doing
in
the
region,
if
you
could
take
that
Pier.
A
Okay,
as
many
of
you
probably
already
know,
Steve
Alexander
Dash
has
done
BB
palettes
with
protera,
as
well
as
new
flyer
they're,
going
through
the
process
of
going
looking
at
charging
and
how
to
keep
the
buses
in
terms
of
range.
Dc.
Circulator
is
also
have
done.
The
palette
with
better
electric
buses
and
more
recently,
Montgomery
County,
has
announced
that
they
are
about
to
start
their
hydrogen
fuel
cell
pallet,
which
is
pretty
exciting,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things
happening
throughout
the
region
and
in
the
lower
time.
B
Okay,
thanks
Pierre,
and
thanks
for
this
very
comprehensive
presentation.
Now,
if
folks
have
questions,
why
don't
you
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
pull
them
out
of
the
pull
them
out
of
the
chat
there.
B
As
I
mentioned,
we've
got
a
full
agenda
tonight,
but
we
do
have
time
for
a
few
questions
here.
So
just
raise
your
hand
if
you
have
a
question.
C
What
what's
one
cost
and
who
who
makes
them?
Who
are
the
manufacturers?
Is
there
much
choice
of
manufacturers
and,
secondly,
is
there
a
way
to
do
Cooperative
purchasing
it?
We're
not
a
purchasing
committee
but
but
and
I
know
that
there
is
a
purchasing
department,
but
is
there
a
way
to
cooperate
with
other
systems
in
getting
maybe
cheaper
buses?
So
what
do
they
cost?
Who
makes
them
and
can
you
cooperate.
D
A
B
K
Hey,
thank
you
Mr
chairman,
so
you
talked
about
the
replacement,
a
two
to
one
replacement
for
a
battery
electric
and
then
one
to
one
on
the
fuel
cell.
There
was
no
mention
about
the
cost
of
retrofitting
any
of
our
facilities
for
either
battery
electric
or
fuel
cell.
Can
there
be
sort
of
I
mean
two
to
one
replacement
value
for
a
battery
electric
seems
that's
going
to
be
an
ungodly,
expensive
purchase,
but
to
fuel
for
fuel
cell
I
mean.
K
Can
we
talk
about
the
expense
of
retrofitting
any
of
our
facilities
for
it,
because
I
mean
that
has
to
be
factored
into
the
costs
correct.
D
D
We
can
do
that
with
tractor
trailer,
fueling
rigs
that
could
minimize
the
cost
of
infrastructure
for
the
pilot.
However,
if
we
were
to
make
the
decision
down
the
road
to
to
go
to
that
technology
fully,
we
would
have
to
retrofit
fueling
fueling
Supply
and
tank
storage
tanks
on
site,
which
would
be
a
significant
facility
investment,
but
with
that
said
also
the
beb
investment
at
the
AMF
facility
that
you
may
have
been
briefed
on
last
time.
D
It's
a
significant
I
mean
we're
we're
I
think
in
the
order
of
nine
to
ten
million
dollars
of
investment
in
that
area
for
be
buses,
but
that's
the
full
electrification
of
all
63
vehicles
on
the
site.
So
I
would
say
what
this
does
allow
us
4
and
the
pilot
is.
We
would
be
able
to
do
the
four
bus,
beb
pilot
and
install
the
infrastructure.
Do
the
distribution
system
upgrades
and
it
is
all
it's
it-
there
is
higher
levels
of
cost
there.
D
I
would
just
tell
you
for
full
electrification
at
that
facility
and
all
the
infrastructure
cost.
It
was
estimated
in
the
nine
to
ten
million
dollar
range
for
63
buses,
so
that
kind
of
gives
you
a
little
context,
but
I
do
think.
One
thing
that
might
be
helpful,
too,
is
just
a
basic
fact:
Pierre
you
gave
the
550
000
number
for
CNG.
Could
you
give
the
corresponding
number
for
a
beb.
D
Hydrogen
fuel
cell
buses
are
in
that
same
ballpark
subject
the
bus.
The
bus
itself
is,
but
we
don't
have
I'll
tell
you
at
this
point.
We
have
not
done
the
cost
takeoff
or
even
the
design
for
a
full-fledged
hydrogen
fuel
cell
investment
of
infrastructure,
but
both
will
take
Investments,
so
I
think
it's
a
great
question.
Well,.
K
I
mean
well
I'm,
also
a
member
of
the
Transportation
Commission.
If
you're
going
to
be
coming
in
briefing
the
the
commission,
I
would
highly
recommend
that
you
have.
At
least
you
know,
estimates
of
of
what
the
costs
are
for
a
full
for
a
full
replacement.
I
mean
20.
You
said
that
the
replacement
is
going
to
occur
by
2038.
K
That's
I
mean
that's
not
far
away
so
I
mean
I
would
definitely
recommend
that
you
have
those
kind
of
estimates
and
just
one
last
point
of
I
saw
in
the
chat
someone
took
offense
to
the
use
of
the
word
transit
dependent
I
would
highly
encourage
you
that
hey
I'm,
also
a
TR
I,
love,
Transit
and
I
use
Transit,
all
the
time,
I'm
not
Transit
dependent
but
I
use
Transit,
so
that
I
would
highly
recommend
not
using
that
phrase
going
forward.
So
thanks
so
much.
B
Okay,
any
other
committees
from
any
questions
from
committee
members,
any
other
ones:
okay,
okay,
Harvey
I'm,
going
to
ask
you
to
turn
your
camera
off
for
me,
okay,
with
that
said,
I
want
to
thank
you
both
for
excellent
presentation,
as
we
can
see,
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
to
this
and
a
lot
of
options
and
so
forth,
but
glad
to
see
that
we're
moving
ahead
on
replacing
those
navies
is
as
promptly
as
possible.
So
thank
you
both
for
joining
us
tonight.
E
B
D
B
B
Okay,
hopefully
all
of
you
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
the
presentation
that
was
sent
to
us
earlier
today.
B
It's
a
pretty
long
presentation,
I'm
going
to
ask
Paul
to
you,
know
get
through
it
as
quickly
as
you
can
and
again
we're
going
to
hold
questions
to
the
end
foreign.
I
Absolutely
I
will
move
it
through
this
very
quickly
and
we
can
go
back
and
address
any
questions
in
more
detail.
But,
as
you
noted,
this
is
a
rather
lengthy
presentation
just
to
frame
everything
we're
doing
our
Transit
Bureau
vision
and
Mission
into
the
guiding
principle
that
we
work
from.
I
This
is
the
schedule
of
upcoming
events
today,
we're
here
talking
the
transit
committee.
We've
joined
the
c2e2
group
next
week
to
speak
with
them,
then
going
to
the
board
the
Kennedy
administrator
and
the
board
to
to
get
direction
on
how
we
are
going
to
proceed
with
recommendations.
Today,
we're
going
to
talk
about
Gap
analysis
and
some
of
the
gaps
in
the
county
go
into
a
few
other
committee's
commissions.
I
I
A
little
just
summary
of
our
Outreach,
there
was
online
feedback
that
we
had
and
we
had
seven
pop-up
engagements
throughout
the
throughout
the
county.
I
Through
the
public
engagement,
we
had
goals
and
goals
that
we
wanted
the
public
to
comment
on
to
make
sure
that
we
were
moving
in
the
right
direction.
I
want
to
note
that
the
goals
for
deploying
infrastructure
and
services
equitably
and
creating
a
resilient
community
Through
sustainable
Transportation,
our
equity
and
sustainability
goals,
where
the
highest
agreement
of
people
that
strongly
agree,
but
even
the
other
goals
very
high,
strongly
agree
or
agree
with
those
goals
well
over
70
percent
for
both
for
all
our
goals.
I
Public
engagement
questionnaire
essentially
asked
some
very
general
questions
about
what
is
most
important
to
you
when
you
choose
Transit
frequency
being
the
highest
thing
that
people
identified
as
important
to
them
as
they
use
Transit,
and
you
can
see
the
other
answers
and
the
percentages
Associated
and
then
the
biggest
challenge
when
you
use
Transit
what
is
preventing
you
from
taking
Transit
again
frequency
very
high
on
this
also,
what
Rose
to
the
top
is
doesn't
come
at
the
time
I
need.
I
Typically,
this
is
talking
about
you
know
later
evening
weekend,
Services
that
aren't
run
quite
as
much
when
people
have
shift
work
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
they
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
use
transit
for
those
trips
or
recreational
or
leisure
activities.
If
you
don't
aren't
running
the
system
at
the
time
of
those,
it's
it's
difficult
to
use,
transit
for
those
trips.
I
So
now,
let's
talk
about
the
system-wide
gaps
we
identified
through
the
Outreach
and
Analysis
first
thing:
I
want
to
talk
about
is
our
networks.
We
talk
about
these
a
little
bit
in
the
Gap
analysis,
understanding
the
way
that
we
provide
service.
We
have
a
premium
Transit
Network,
high
frequency
with
a
premium
type
infrastructure,
something
you
can
see
along
metroway
or
Columbia
Pike,
our
primary
Network,
which
is
a
high
frequency
Network,
an
example
of
that
is
along
Langston
Boulevard.
I
These
are
all-day
routes,
long
span
of
service,
which
means
how
long
they
run
18
hours
and
high
frequencies,
and
then
the
secondary
Transit
Network,
lower
frequencies,
less
span
of
service
typically
used
for
coverage
and
commuter
routes
coverage,
meaning
going
to
places
where
that
are
away
from
The
High
Frequency
Network,
where
you
have
the
regional,
Bus,
Service
and
art
service,
supplementing
the
regional
Network.
I
I
Getting
into
the
gaps
as
I
noted
in
the
public
engagement
frequency
was
the
number
one
priority:
it's
important
it.
It
requires
less
planning
for
your
bus
strip,
a
lower
time
penalty
for
missing
bus.
If
you
have
a
bus
coming
every
10
minutes
and
you
miss
it
by
a
few
minutes
and
there's
another
bus
in
10
minutes.
If
you
get
a
bus
coming
every
30
minutes,
that's
that's
a
little
more
difficult
and
then
some
recommendations
on
potential
recommendations.
I
Again
we're
just
talking
about
the
gaps
right
now
and
the
potential
recommendations
for
for
addressing
those
gaps
of
needs
in
a
very
general
sense.
A
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
investment
into
the
service
and
and
determining
where
our
priority
for
investment
is
increasing.
Spanish
Service,
another
thing
that
was
very
highly,
particularly
as
a
challenge
for
people
using
Transit
dot
come
in
during
the
time
of
day
when
they
need
it
again.
I
Speaking
of
you
know,
people
that
have
shift
work
and
people
who
want
to
use
the
the
service
for
leisure
activities
that
would
be
on
the
weekend
or
in
the
evenings.
I
This
is
also
something
that
has
been
talked
about
frequently
in
the
industry,
with
the
changes
in
working
with
the
increase,
the
increases
in
working
at
home
and
teleworking
and
less
people
commuting.
The
off-peaks
are
becoming
a
more
important
part
of
the
service,
whereas
the
the
peak
used
to
dominate
we're.
I
Looking
at
the
off-peak
surface,
which
seemed
to
be
more
resilient
and
looking
at
ways
that
we
could
possibly
improve
those
again
some
advantages,
you
know
off-peak
employment
opportunities,
access
to
education,
opportunities
and
then
the
recommendations
which
again
you're
looking
at
Investments,
improve
reliability.
This
is
something
that
is,
you
know,
extremely
important.
You
have
to
have
a
trustworthy
system.
People
need
to
be
able
to
know
when
they
plan
a
trip
when
they
go
to
their
bus.
I
Stop
the
bus,
stop
is
going
to
be
there
and
the
bus
is
going
to
be
there
and
it's
going
to
be
able
to
take
them
to
their
destination
on
time,
so
that
they
can
trust
that
service
just
as
much
as
they.
If
you
wanted
to
get
in
your
car,
you
know
your
car's
there
you
can
get
in
it
and
take
it,
and
that
would
be
reliable
and
that's
very
important
and
it's
something
that
we
are
looking
at.
I
You
know
part
of
it
right
now
is
making
sure
we
have
a
well-maintained
free,
making
sure
we're
training
our
drivers,
but
also
we
can
look
into
planting
shorter
routes,
more
direct
routes,
improving
Transit
infrastructure,
like
Transit
single
priority
and
investing
in
new
buses
and
increasing
investment
in
the
maintenance
of
our
Fleet,
create
a
more
efficient
Transit
Network
design.
There
were
some
identified
gaps
and
connectivity
to
and
from
destinations.
I
We've
been
in
that
doing
analysis
on
the
the
new
travel
patterns,
also
population
growth,
job
center
growth,
Etc,
and
you
know
the
Amazon
HQ
as
an
example
of
a
significant
drop
job
growth
location.
Some
of
our
performance
measures
are
are
not
reaching
the
level
that
they
need
to
reach.
They
were
designed
before
pre-pandemic
many
years
before
free
pandemic,
and
we
don't
currently
meet
those
we're
slowly,
building
back
the
ridership
and
getting
closer
to
that.
I
But
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
potentially
review
and
adjust
our
service
standards
to
identify
better
times
of
the
day,
making
sure
that
we're
providing
the
service
at
the
frequency
that
needs
to
be
and
making
sure
it
fits
with
the
needs
of
the
community.
I
You
can
do
some
things
like
limiting
bus
stops
along
routes,
but
that's
a
trade-off.
Then
you
don't
have
as
easy
access
to
the
bus
and
some
ideas
for
Investments.
I
Better
accuracy
and
access
to
real-time
data,
this
was
a
recurring
theme.
We've
had
some
problems
with
our
Software
System
we're
working
on
cleaning
that
up
I
know
a
Metro
Bus
also
had
problems
with
this.
What
are
called
ghostbust
Ghostbusters
when
the
real
time
says?
Oh,
you
have
your
boats
coming
in
two
minutes
and
you
go
to
the
bus
stop
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
it
switches
over
and
says
no,
the
bus
is
coming
in
30
minutes.
I
It's
a
way
that
the
real
time
interacts
if
a
bus
goes
off
Route
if
it
gets
disconnected,
it
reverts
to
a
scheduled
time
and
not
a
real
time
and
doesn't
actually
show
what
the
bus
is
doing.
So
this
is
something
that
we're
working
on
addressing
right
now.
One
of
the
other
main
things
that
we
need
to
do
is
it
goes
back
to
reliability,
making
sure
our
Fleet
is
in
the
best
condition
it
can
be.
I
Our
operators
understand
how
to
follow
the
schedule,
so
they
aren't
coming
early
and
leaving
early
from
stops
and
staying
on
time.
So
this
was
a
very
it's
very
important
things,
particularly
the
way
people
interact
now
with
plus
Service
they're,
depending
more
on
real-time
data
and
less
on
a
schedule.
I
Improve
the
writer
experience
on
board
in
the
waiting
areas
very
important
to
adults
or
elderly
having
patience
we
when
we
did
our
Outreach
I
just
spoke
with
communities
of
populations
with
older
adults
in
it,
and
this
is
a
lot
to
do
with
just
customer
service
in
general,
bus
drivers
have
a
patience,
bus
drivers,
lowering
the
ramp
and
kneeling
the
bus
when
they
are
asked
to
which
is
you
know
what
they're
expected
to
do,
and
things
of
that
nature
also
related
to
this
is
safety.
I
Opera
customer
safety
is
very
important
if
you,
if
you
can't
deliver
a
safe
service,
there's
no
reason
you
should
be
running
service.
This
is
a
key
piece
of
what
we
do
and
making
sure
bus
stops
are
accessible.
I
We
have
a
program
to
improve
bus
stops
and
the
goal
is
to
have
100
88
bus
stops
countywide
and
we've
continued
to
work
through
that
year
over
year
and
hope
to
meet
that
goal
sooner
than
later,
but
as
we
do
that
it
also
becomes
more
comfortable,
more
accessible
for
the
public
in
general,
not
just
people
who
have
potentially
mobility
issues,
but
for
the
the
greater
population
address,
underserved
or
low-income
minority
groups.
I
I
That's
one
of
the
things
that
is
coming
up
and
we
will
be
taking
a
look
at
our
Equity
program
through
that
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
exceptionally
important,
and
it
was
something
I
was
a
little
surprised
by
that
I
heard
more
than
once
or
many
times
while
he
was
out
in
the
field.
Was
that
we're
not
communicating
well
with
our
customers,
particularly
not
providing
enough
translation
service
even
in
Spanish?
I
Even
though
I
know
that
we
provide
all
our
everything
that
we
put
out,
we
put
out
in
English
and
Spanish,
but
apparently
that
isn't
reaching
the
customer
the
way
we
wanted
to
and
it's
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
really
concentrate
on.
As
we
update
our
title,
six
is
our
public
participation
plan
and
our
ongoing
communication
with
lap
communities.
I
Agreed
increased
attractiveness
of
Transit,
a
general
idea
of
you
know.
Sometimes
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
a
bias
against
bus
transit.
Some
people
may
not
look
at
it
as
favorable
as
other
Transportation
options.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
Transit
is
reliable.
It's
convenient
and
it's
feasible
to
make
your
trips
with
Transit
and
I.
I.
Think
that
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
understand.
I
You
know
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
can
do
for
a
positive
environmental
impact
is
increase.
The
number
of
people
that
are
on
the
bus
and
decrease
the
number
of
single
occupancy
vehicles
on
the
street
and
so
again,
just
overall
increasing
the
attractiveness
of
Transit
increasing
the
number
of
people
who
view
it
as
a
viable
and
feasible
alternative
to
use
nsobs.
I
Consider
a
more
affordable
or
free
transit
services.
As
you're
aware,
agencies
have
been
exploring
this
moving
forward
as
Transit
as
a
service
providing
that
free.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
providing
reduced
fares
and
free
fares
to
low-income
and
students.
These
are
pilots
that
we
have
right
now.
We
will
be
looking
to
do
a
study
on
free
or
reduced
Fair
Transit
and
seeing
where
what
what
would
be
the
best
way
to
handle
that
do
we
make
this
free
for
everyone.
I
Do
we
make
do
we
reduce
the
fare,
provide
free
fares
for
lower
income
populations,
while
still
asking
you
know,
people
who
can
pay
for
the
service
to
to
continue
paying
for
the
service?
So
looking
forward
to
that
as
an
idea
to
help
increase
the
the
ridership
on
the
bus
enhance
bus,
roadway
infrastructure
for
service?
I
This
really
talks
about
spot
improvements
working
with
our
engineering
groups
when
there's
a
transportation
project
making
sure
that
we're
looking
at
things
like
you
know,
is
there
a
possibility
to
put
in
a
bus
lane
or
a
cue
jump
or
some
other
infrastructure
that
that
works
within
in
you
know,
within
the
scope
of
the
project,
to
help
increase
the
reliability
and
speed
of
Transit
yeah,
there's
limited
right-of-way,
that
is
in
the
county
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
modes
they're.
I
Sharing
that
right
away
at
this
point,
and
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
Transit
and
making
sure
that
we
can
propose
things
to
help
that
service
with
infrastructure
along
with
the
other
modes.
I
Geographic
pattern,
so,
looking
at
looking
at
the
county
from
a
geographic
point
of
view,
these
orange
and
brown
locations
here
are
Kong
activity.
Centers
in
wcog
has
identified.
These
I
think
it
was
2014
as
activity.
Centers,
there's
regional-wide
activity
centers,
and
these
are
the
ones
that
are
in
Arlington.
The
green
spaces
are
neighborhoods.
We
identified
these,
as
you
know,
essentially
our
internal
activity
centers
to
to
help
with
the
analysis,
something
that
would
match
with
what
Cod
was
doing
and
these
Taz.
I
I
So
through
some
analysis,
we
found
some
areas
that
we
would
like
to
focus
on
along
Columbia
Pike,
as
first
off
our
Equity
areas
along
Columbia,
Pike,
Crystal,
City,
Long,
Branch,
Creek
and
us-29
near
Washington,
Boulevard
in
Washington,
Boulevard,
translated,
Transit
oriented
population
propensity
Focus
areas,
Transit
oriented
population
propensity
is
based
on
a
few
different
metrics.
I
It
has
Equity
Focus,
but
it
also
looks
at
densities
and
it
looks
at
zero
vehicle
houses
in
some
case.
That
is
because
people
choose
not
to
have
a
vehicle.
In
other
cases,
people
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
have
a
vehicle,
but
it
does
increase
the
population.
The
transit
oriented
propensity
with
those
factors
included.
So
these
were
some
of
the
areas.
The
the
propensity
analysis
identified
again
Crystal
City,
depending
on
setting.
I
So
looking
at
our
Equity
population,
as
identified
by
our
title
VI,
you
can
see
the
areas
that
are
identified
by
as
low
income
or
minority
neighborhoods
and
where
there
is
a
higher
population
of
you,
know,
people
in
these
Equity
populations
with
a
lower
than
average
ratio
of
Transit
trips,
meaning
that
there
are
less
Transit
trips
on
average.
I
When
you
talk
about
a
ratio
for
people
in
the
equity
populations
than
in
other
parts
of
the
county,
when
you
look
at
that
with
womana
and
art
combined,
you
can
see
that
it
does
change
the
map,
Columbia
Pike,
being
our
one
of
our
premium,
Transit
Network
corridors.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
regional
service.
So
when
you
layer
in
Metro
and
art
together,
you
can
see
that
there
is
a
lot
of
service
in
these
areas,
and
that
goes
in
here
where
the
Metro
way
comes
through
and
along
Columbia
Pike.
I
It's
still
does
provide
some
ideas
and
there's
a
a
lot
of
maps
like
this,
that
we
use
to
Overlay
and
start
trying
to
identify
where
there
are
gaps
where
these
locations
show
up
on
multiple
Maps.
I
So
we
had
several
Maps,
like
that:
bivariate
maps
showing
art
and
wamata
service,
artalone
and
wilmada
and
art
service
combined,
and
we
compared
it
to
these
other
factors
and
built
up.
You
know
where
we
found
opportunities
for
the
Improvement
of
Transit
and
again
you
can
see
Crystal
City,
Arlington,
Mill,
Long,
Branch,
Buckingham
and
Waverly
Hills.
I
We
also
looked
at
our
Transit
centers
and
just
the
level
of
service
that
our
Transit
centers
in
general,
interesting
that
we
look
at
Arlington
Cemetery
and
Washington
National
Airport
with
no
bus
service.
I
And,
while
those
are
you
know,
Transit
centers
with
rail.
There
is
reasons
that
you
probably
don't
have
as
much
bus
service
there.
It
is
served
by
Rail
and
it
it.
You
know.
Bus
service
may
not
be
the
best
option
for
providing
service
to
those
areas.
But
it's
something
that
we
note
and
we
would
take
a
look
at.
I
You
can
see
that
Boston
Metro
is
above
average
trips
per
day
with
2000
when
you
combine
wamada
and
art,
and
you
know
Courthouse,
obviously
the
highest
Center
for
art
service
Alone,
another
interesting
thing
below
average
levels
of
service
at
Transit,
centers,
Pentagon,
Pentagon,
City,
Crystal,
City,
metro,
state,
Metro,
Rail
stations,
a
little
bit,
counter-intuitive
you'd
say
oh
well,
these
are
major.
I
You
know
major
Metro
stations,
but
the
thing
is
we
do
have
a
lot
of
Metro
Bus
regional
service
that
goes
to
these
stations
so
that
we
don't
have
to
layer
as
much
art
service
over
it.
I
only
I
think
there's
only
one
route
that
even
goes
to
the
Pentagon.
I
So
a
lot
of
that
service
is
carried
by
Metro
and
the
regional
Bus
Network.
I
And
then
the
activity
centers
again
summarizing
the
activity,
centers
courthouse
remaining
the
highest
with
you-
know:
1400
trips
per
day,
Virginia
Square,
rising
to
the
top
here
with
the
most
service
in
general,
and
this
is
the
activities
that
are
not
necessarily
the
the
station
itself
and
again
you
see
below
activate
below
service
activity.
Centers
such
as
Pentagon,
Pentagon,
City,
Sterlington
and
Falls
Church
again
was
served
by
a
lot
of
regional
Bus
Service.
I
So
it
seems
a
little
counter-intuitive
that
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
art
service
there,
but
really
not
necessary
to
lay
over
art
service
over
the
top
of
them.
I
This
is
showing
connections
from
all
the
activity,
centers
and
neighborhoods,
with
the
thicker
line,
meaning
there's
a
stronger
connection
with
more
trips.
This
is
this.
These
connections
come
from.
What's
called
street
light
data,
it's
essentially
Anonymous
phone
data
that
is
collected
to
tell
us
where
people
are
traveling.
I
I
think
is
the
the
brand
name,
but
it's
also
called
replica
is
I
believe
what
we
use,
but
you
can
see
all
the
connections
for
all
types
of
trips
and
then
you
can
see
the
connections
for
just
Transit,
where
you
see
a
much
more
robust
connections
down
here
in
the
southern
part
of
Arlington
south
of
66.,
and
essentially
what
this
tells
us
is
that
what
the
ratio
of
Transit
trips
is
to
the
the
total
trips
and
in
the
lower
ratios
are
where
you
have
fewer
Transit
trips,
but
a
lot
of
people
that
are
making
that
trip
in
in
ways
obviously
other
than
Transit
includes
Transit,
but
there
are
more
trips
than
Transit
trips,
and
these
could
be
opportunities
to
build
connections.
I
This
is
just
another
element
that
we
can
layer.
On
top
of
all
the
other
analysis
that
we
were
looking
at
to
say:
okay,
we
have
gaps
in
these
locations.
We
have
a
gap
with
this
connection.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
connect
these
locations
with
service?
I
So
this
is
just
just
another
tool
that
just
lets
us
know
where
we
have
some
opportunity
to
provide
some
Transit
service.
If
we
can,
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
fill
other
gaps
at
the
same
time,
we
looked
at
schools,
it'll,
move
quickly.
Through
this
we
looked
at
schools,
our
Arlington
Public
Schools
and
the
higher
learning
universities,
and
then
you
know,
charted
the
trips
that
we
had
for
that
and
seeing
where
there
could
be
an
opportunity
for
improvement.
I
We've
looked
at
community
centers
again
charting
the
amount
of
trips
that
go
to
these
community
centers
and
seeing
where
we
may
be
able
to
increase
that
service,
and
you
know
Bridge
them
gaps
again,
another
layer
of
information
to
put
on
to
see
where
we
have
opportunities
to
fill
gaps.
I
So
the
next
steps
are
are
going
to
be
the
service
recommendations.
We're
going
to
get
comment
on
this
you've
seen.
But
we
are
talking
about
doing,
but
we're
going
to
review
our
performance
measures
and
then
start
looking
at
the
gaps
and
providing
specific
improvements,
routing
hours
frequencies
to
address
these
gaps.
I
And
then
we
will
come
back
and
talk
to
this
group
a
little
bit
talk
to
a
few
other
groups
and
then
take
this
out
to
the
public
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
the
right
recommendations
for
filling
these
gaps.
Once
that
is
complete,
we
will
develop
a
funding
plan.
We
will
be
talking
about
funding
with
our
service
recommendations,
but
this
will
be
less
constrained
financially.
I
When
we
come
to
the
full
plan,
it's
gonna,
we
may
have
to
make
some
trade-offs
and
the
this
will
be
a
constrained,
feasible,
implementable
plan.
I
So
you
know
we
want
to
get
a
lot
of
ideas
out
here
with
the
recommendations
of
the
specific
recommendations
with
the
costs
associated
and
then
turning
that
into
a
feasible
plan
you
and
that
that
can
be
implemented,
and
then
the
final
recommendations
and
submission
of
the
plan
approval
by
the
board
in
June
and
what
we're
trying
to
figure
out
right
now
is
what
gaps
are
we
prioritizing
and
what
investments
do
we
need
to
prioritize?
I
And
that
is
where
we
are
and
if
there
are
questions
or
if
we
want
to
go
back
and
look
at
anything,
please
let
me
know.
I
B
It
was,
it
was
very
comprehensive
when
you,
when
do
you
plan,
to
bring
it
back
to
us.
I
It
will
be
end
of
February
near
the
beginning
of
March,
and
we're
going
to
have
you
know
more
specific
recommendations.
The
like
I
said
this
was
a
gap
analysis
looking
at
where
our
needs
are,
and
then
the
next
is
to
start
making
the
specific
recommendations
for
service.
B
Okay,
all
right,
as
I
said,
you
did
use
up
all
the
time,
so
I'm
gonna
suggest
that
people
have
questions
that
they
email
them
to
Paul
or
you
can
send
them
to
Pierre.
If
you
don't
have
Paul's
email,
but
I
think
we
probably
need
to
move
on
at
this
point.
B
So
the
next
item
is
the
wamada
2024
proposed
budget
update.
H
H
So
the
proposed
operating
budget
increase,
increases,
Bus
and
Rail
service
simplifies
fares,
launches
the
better
bus,
Network
redesign
and
funds,
Crisis
Intervention
specialists,
the
proposed
capital
budget
funds,
zero
emission
buses
and
electrification
of
the
northern
and
Bladensburg
bus
garages.
It
opens
the
new
Potomac
Yard
station
modernizes
customer
wayfinding
and
funds.
The
creation
of
the
Metro
integrated
comps
Center.
H
In
addition,
the
fy24
budget
includes
Revenue
growth
of
28.5
million
dollars,
including
11.4
million
of
fair
revenue
from
improving
ridership
and
3
million
from
parking
and
advertising
revenues,
as
well
as
14.1
million
from
joint
development
revenues.
These
initiatives
reduce
the
shortfall
to
146.2
million.
H
H
This
slide
shows
you
when
and
how
the
federal
funds
were
used.
As
you
can
see
in
fy25,
there
will
be
no
funds
remaining.
H
Building
on
the
all-day
service
improvements
introduced
in
Fall
of
2021,
which
upgraded
20
bus
lines
to
every
12
minute
frequency
all
day
and
16
bus
lines
to
every
20
minute
frequency
all
day.
The
proposal
includes
improvements
to
three
bus
lines
to
increase
frequency
and
expand
access.
The
B2
line
frequency
would
be
increased
to
12
minutes
all
day.
H
H
The
Proposal
increases
service
frequency
with
trains
every
three
to
six
minutes
at
stations
in
the
core
and
trains,
every
8
to
12
minutes
or
better
system-wide
benefiting
customers
across
the
entire
network.
Green
and
yellow
line
trains
would
arrive
every
six
minutes
all
day
with
the
yellow
line
trains.
Turning
around
at
Mount
Vernon
Square
station,
the
Orange
Line
trains
would
operate
every
7.5
minutes
on
average
during
Peak
service
and
every
10
minutes
during
off-peak
service.
H
The
proposed
rail
fare
structure
ranges
from
two
two
dollars
to
six
dollars
and
fifty
cents
for
weekdays
and
maintains
the
two
dollar
late
night
and
weekend.
Fares,
weekday,
Peak
and
off-peak
fair
structure
would
be
Consolidated.
The
mileage
rate
would
be
standardized
at
40
cents
per
mile.
After
three
miles,
the
rail
base
fare
would
match
the
bus
space
fare
of
two
dollars
all
week
and
Metro
would
administrator
a
regional,
low-income,
Fair
program.
H
H
H
Capital
programs
has
not
changed;
it
still
stayed
a
good
repair,
bringing
stuff
up
to
a
modernization,
keeping
things
status
quo
and
better
than
status
quo.
H
The
monies
that
it
costs
to
do
Capital
Investments,
was
not
affected
by
the
radish
ship
as
operating
had
been,
so
nothing
really
has
changed
there.
H
The
overdue
needs
are
are
listed
on
this.
H
Looking
at
the
improvements
and
getting
stuff
up
to
a
a
state
of
good
repair,
what's
going
to
happen
is
the
at
the
last
board
meeting
last
Thursday,
the
GM's
proposed
budget
was
approved
to
be
taken
to
the
board
meeting,
which
is
next
week
by
the
finance
committee,
and
that
will
they
will
then
on
next
Thursday's
meeting
vote
to
allow
them
to
take
this
budget
to
the
public
feedback
and
public
hearing
sessions.
H
This
is
the
same
as
as
it
has
been
in
the
past,
but
hopefully
improved
where
they
get
the
Public's
input
on
what
they
think
about
the
budget
and
different
ideas
that
the
public
might
have
and
how
to
make
this
a
better
system.
H
And
the
way
that
they're
going
to
do
that
is
through
in-person
Outreach,
where
they
send
crews
out
to
the
stations
and
bus
transfer
facilities,
there'll
be
notices
on
the
digital
signs
throughout
the
Metro
System
there'll
be
ads
placed
on
social
media
and
in
Publications
we're
going
to
have
public
hearings.
H
H
The
website
will
be
updated
with
information.
There'll
be
brochures
to
be
handed
out,
and
stakeholders
such
as
Arlington,
County,
Fairfax
County
Etc,
will
all
have
their
their
Pi
pios
informed
on
on
what
the
the
information
is.
So
we
can
get
it
out
to
the
public,
and
these
will
be
in
multilingual
documents.
H
The
next
steps
right
now
we
need
to
the
past
steps
are
engraved.
The
present
and
upcoming
steps
are
in
blue,
so
on
next
Thursday
the
26th.
The
board
will
vote
to
put
this
information
forth
to
public
comment
and
public
hearing.
H
The
public
comment
period
will
be
from
the
middle
of
February
to
the
middle
of
March,
and
the
public
hearings
will
occur
as
I
said
in
the
second
second
week
of
March
there'll
be
workshops
so
that
people
know
what's
up
once
everything
has
gone
through
its
motions.
We've
received
all
the
information
from
the
public
and
compiled
that
information.
H
It
will
then
be
presented
to
the
board
for
board
adoption.
Hopefully
in
April
they
will
then
submit
the
the
paperwork
that
they
need
to
to
the
feds
and
then
FY
24
starts
bright
and
early,
the
first
of
July
and
that's
my
last
slide.
B
Okay,
thanks
Kirk
two
questions
for
you
once
the
Potomac
Yard
station
open
up,
May
May.
Okay,
let's
see
the
other
question
I
had
was
how
much
of
I've
heard
that
DC
is
planning
to
have
free
my
Metro,
Bus
and
I,
just
wondering
how
that
weighs
into
the
budget
here.
So
the.
H
The
the
politicians
of
DC
put
forth
that
they
want
to
have
free
bus
and
they
want
to
pay
for
it
right
now.
To
date,
nothing
official
has
been
worked
out
with
wamata
in
in
order
to
get
that
done.
H
H
Those
were
the
the
trips
would
be
any
trip
that
is
as
of
right
now,
anyway,
it
would
be
any
trip
that
originates
in
DC,
so
if
I
was
to
ride
from
Arlington
to
DC,
I
would
pay,
but
if
I
ride
from
DC
to
Arlington,
that
trip
would
be
free
on
bus.
H
Now,
one
of
the
things
that
I
don't
think
that
the
district
has
really
taken
into
account
is
how
many
people
that
are
not
residents
of
the
district
ride
on
Metro
Metro
Bus.
H
Additionally,
they
are
not
necessarily
tallying
all
the
people
who,
in
the
past,
have
kind
of
ridden
on
Fair
evasion,
so
the
the
amount
of
money
could
be
a
lot
more
than
what
they
have
set
aside
in
their
alleged
slush
funds.
That
was
going
to
pay
for
this
right
now.
The
that
amount
is
at
the
the
desk
of
the
mayor.
H
However,
if
all
things
were
equal
right
now
it
would
be
a
you
know,
a
cost
neutral
type
of
thing,
because
it
would
be
along
the
lines
of
what
we
do
with
the
the
student
fairs
in
Arlington,
where
the
students
are
riding
free,
it
would
be,
the
amount
of
rides
would
be
paid
for
by
the
jurisdiction,
so
the
the
district
will
be
paying
for
it
and
it
would
not
affect
the
the
budget
at
all.
B
Okay,
if
not
we'll
we'll
move
ahead.
So
next
next
item
is
report
from
the
accessibility
subcommittee.
B
Okay,
all
right.
Okay,
any
other
comments
you
have
from
the
subcommittee
just
at
your
meetings
next
week.
G
B
B
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
We
have
a
a
couple
of
additional
items
here.
We
have
the
tech,
Charter
changes.
A
So
yes
was
brought
to
you
all.
Last
year
there
were
some
proposed
changes
to
the
attack
Charter
to
more,
in
line
with
the
bicycle
advisory
committee,
as
well
as
The
Pedestrian
advisory
committee.
A
We're
still
waiting
to
get
more
clarity
on
kind
of
how
that
will
be
aligned,
but
once
we
do
have
that
they
won't
come
back
to
the
attack
and-
and
the
second
bullet
item
we
have
is
the
future
hybrid
meeting.
I
believed
at
the
last
SAC
meeting.
There
was
a
question
in
regards
to
or
the
possibilities
of
doing,
a
hybrid
meeting
or
several
hybrid.
A
Maybe
it's
this
calendar
year
so
suggesting
to
put
out
a
doodle
poll
which
I
will
send
to
the
entire
attack
and
from
that
we
can
gauge
and
provide
the
information
via
email
on
what
dates
potentially
would
work
for
everyone.
B
Okay,
so
Pierre
what
what
questions
do
you
happen
to
do
you
plan
to
put
out
with
that?
Oh.
A
Just
one
there'll
be
two
questions
more
likely
or
just
maybe
one
question.
If
we
did
have
a
hybrid
meeting,
you
know
what
particular
attack,
meaning
would
be
the
most
ideal
or
meetings
would
be
the
most
ideal.
We
do
have
the
July
meeting
where
we
have
to
meet
in
person
as
far
as
the
transit
Capital
products
tour,
but
there
was
interest
at
least
noting.
It
was
some
interest
that
there
was
a
if
there
was
opportunity
to
do
in-person
meeting
or
a
hybrid
meeting.
A
I
should
say
we
should
do
so
and
also
just
to
see
if
there's
any
interest
in
doing
so,
because
the
last
time
I
believe
a
year
or
so
ago.
We
did
this.
It
wasn't
much
interest
so
just
to
want
to
engage
where
the
tax
would
stand
for
this.
B
All
right,
any
other
items
that
anybody
would
like
to
bring
up
on
the
committee.
F
I
was
just
going
to
say
for
the
changes
that
suggest
trying
it
one
time
before
instituting
a
permanent
joint
meetings.
B
Okay,
well
permanent,
well,
hybrid
meetings.
B
And
Pierre
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
one
of
the
things
in
the
tech
Charter
change
would
be
about
having
a
joint
meeting
with
the
other
two
advisory
committees
once
a
year.
Is
that
right?
That's.
F
Is
to
kind
of
try
that
once
before
instituting
a
a
permanent
meeting
every
year,.
